ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
First of all, I would like to thank you for reading my book. I’m honored to have you as a reader. I wrote this for you, and I hope you were entertained by the adventures of Jake and Cody.
Thank you to all of my family and friends who had faith in me and offered encouragement, especially my two amazing kids. Thanks to my early readers of the manuscript’s first drafts who gave helpful feedback. Thanks to my many proofreaders and editors who all worked hard on the story.
Thank you to the talented artists at Damonza for designing the book cover. You were a joy to work with, and I look forward to seeing your creative art for book two.
Thank you to Maureen Feldman of Transaction Publishers for kindly granting permission to reprint the passage regarding the over 50 million citizens randomly murdered by the previous government of the Soviet Union, quoted from the book, Death by Government, by R. J. Rummel.
Thank you to Captain David J. Danelo, US Marine Corps infantry officer and war veteran, for writing the book, The Return: A Field Manual for Life After Combat. The book helped me to have a better understanding of our returning war veterans. It was also helpful in the readjustment to civilian life for my war veteran son. He served as a US Marine Corps Infantryman Lance Corporal and “Pointman.” Leading the way at the front of foot patrols outside the wire in the sandbox. He risked his life alongside the dog handler and his war dog, as the three of them performed their highly dangerous jobs.
Thank you to Mike Dowling, US Marine Sergeant and dog handler, for writing the book, Sergeant Rex: The Unbreakable Bond Between a Marine and His Military Working Dog. In the book, Sergeant Dowling explains the “Alpha Roll” and why you should never attempt it unless you are a trained military war dog handler.
Thank you to Harris Done, director of the film, Always Faithful. This documentary shows the lives of US Marine Corps dog teams deployed on the front lines of war. The close bond between human and canine is a matter of life and death for themselves and countless fellow troops who are counting on them. This movie is available to stream and watch on Amazon.
Thank you to Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce, for giving the quadskis to the San Francisco Police Department.
Thank you to San Francisco Police Sergeant Adam Plantinga for writing the book, 400 Things Cops Know: Street Smart Lessons from a Veteran Patrolman. In the book, Sergeant Plantinga shows you what cops face in real life. It is far different than what you see on television.
Special thanks to San Francisco Police Officer John J. Nolan, who gave his life in the line of duty on March 19, 1912, and is listed on the wall of honor at the SFPD headquarters. I don’t know for sure if we are related in a close branch of the Nolan family tree, but I wanted to pay my respects. I also wish to thank, honor and pay tribute to all of the military members, law enforcement officers, first responders and service dogs who have ever given their lives in the line of duty to protect their fellow citizens. Rest in Peace, your sacrifice will always be remembered.
Thank you to all of the good people who work at book websites, bookstores, e-book retailers, and libraries. Yours is a proud profession, and you make the world a better place.
